'67: Come Back as a Cockroach |
Be nice or come back as a cockroach |
Think twice before being cruel |
Those who are unlawful |
Will be something awful |
When the wheel of life revolves |
Flesh dissolves |
Behave or demons will devour you |
They crave the meat of bad boys |
They find most delicious |
The fresh flesh of vicious |
Tots who would deny the Lamb |
What a scam |
How could one come back as a cockroach? |
Why would a spirit eat meat? |
I was a dyspeptic |
Epileptic skeptic |
Other kids ask «why?» |
at two |
I still do |
I want to come back as a cockroach |
Or haunt some drafty mansion |
I’m the kind of chil’n |
Wants to be the villain |
Always separate from the pack |
Dressed in black |
I’m still a dreadful goody-goody |
Won’t kill an innocent flea |
From the time I began |
I was mostly vegan |
Let that little cockroach be |
Don’t kill me |
